Does anyone wear a lymphedema risk alert bracelet or other jewelry?  Do you ever forget and allow a BP or injection or blood draw to occur in an affected arm?  Would you wear this?

FOR THOSE HAVING LYMPH NODES REMOVED:

Go to:  http://brace4life.wixsite.com/b4life  to get a FREE lymphedema risk bracelet. They could use more than two partners to give away these bracelets, so ask your local cancer center, fire department, or hospital if they'd be interested in participating!  When you have even just a sentinel node removal, you are always going to be vulnerable to lymphedema.  I just had the level one lymph node dissection done, and I'm ordering a pretty medical alert bracelet from Amazon, but it can't go swimming with me, so I want this freebie silicone model to wear in the water.  I like that I can turn it upside down so the lettering doesn't show unless I want it to. 

I always knew that firefighters are heroes, and they just proved it again in Connecticut. 

It's free, and I hope to interest my cancer center, my hospital, or my local fire department in sponsoring this program.
